Festival Of Local Wineries
We now have a dozen wines available by-the-glass (which will rise to fourteen when our “house winemaker”, Silver Peak, bottles a couple of things waiting in the tanks) from nine wineries. A fine selection of recent vintages from Calamus, Dan Aykroyd, EastDell, Harbour Estates, Henry Of Pelham, Hillebrand, Reif, Silver Peak, and Vineland will be available for sampling. Admission to the event is free with 30 mL samples selling for $1.50 each or eight for $10 (all taxes included). Spring Festival Of Small BreweriesBeer tasting results
In for just the Festival were Great Lakes Chocolate Orange Peel Ale, Nickle Brook Organic White, Church-Key Honey & Water Mead, Wellington SPA in cask, King Pilsbock, Neustadt Double Fuggled (cask), Trafalgar Dark Wheat and Oak Aged Rye, Amsterdam Pomegranate Wheat, Heritage Maple Bush Lager, Durham Witbier, and Mill Street Witbier. Our patrons were very diligent, purchasing 2,110 samples. However they were not as diligent in scoring the beers with only 291 samples rated. From that limited group there were four stand-outs: Church-Key Cranberry Wheat came away with a median score of 41 out of 50 followed by Black Oak Hop Bomb (40.5), Unibroue La Fin du Monde (40.0), and Denison's Weissbier (40.0). The full table of scores can be found here. Great Real, Get It Live
Over the past 18 months Arlene has stuck close to home writing new songs for her upcoming CD. Followers will agree that her newest experiment in album production is a natural step in a series of interesting experiments. Starting with her first artist performance residency, Arlene has challenged her role as artist performing solo and with a band and creating a new show every time. At Toronto’s legendary Cabana Room Arlene’s weekly show featured emerging artists like Ron Sexsmith and the Barenaked Ladies and resulted in the EP "Pinky". After a series of short small venue concerts (54:40 and Burton Cummings among the headliners), and a year-long residency at Toronto’s other legendary venue The Cameron House, she and Blair Packham (The Jitters) produced a second CD, with the press-review inspired title “Snarky Girlpop” (from which 98 Points found it's way to the film New Waterford Girl). Following more concerts with icons Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies) and Dar Williams, Arlene challenged herself to write a new song every week at a summer-long coffee house residency and created “Cut a Man’s Heart Out”. Arlene will be posting songs from the upcoming album in March '08 for your reviews. Saturday June 21, Doors 10:00pm, Show time 10:30 p.m. Advance tickets are available for $7.00 Summer HoursStarting June 21 we will be open on Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Sundays/Holidays from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Weekday hours remain at 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. As always, a full menu is available all open hours New Brews

To officially launch C'est What's everything-available-by-the-glass program we are holding a mini-Wine Festival for all of our suppliers on 
Hundreds of people arrived at C'est What on the evening of Friday May 23, 2008 in search of the latest beer taste adventure. Forty one different Canadian craft brews were available to sample from light to dark, fruity to hoppy and good to, um, challenging.
Arlene is a compelling performer with between-song-banter that has taken on a much larger role than the typical “this next song is about”. Her funny and dark monologues between songs are the result of letting loose an obsessively busy and creative mind. Check out the blog to read more.
